Thomas Arthur Chandler, 5681 Bentgrass Dr., Unit 102, Sarasota, disbarred effective immediately following a March 6 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1995) On September 5, 2024, Chandler pled no contest to Driving Under the Influence Third or Subsequent Conviction, a third-degree felony, in Manatee County. Chandler was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to 30 days in Manatee County Jail with credit for all time served, to be followed by five years of probation. (Case No. SC24-1675)

Shayne Jeremiah Epstein, 2295 NW Corporate Blvd., Suite 215, Boca Raton, public reprimand to be published in the Southern Reporter effective immediately following a March 20 court order. (Admitted to practice: 2001) Epstein ran a recruiting company that focused on foreign nationals getting jobs in the U.S. and had a law office that did immigration work. One individual was a client of the recruiting company, which placed the foreign national in a job, and of the law firm, which was retained to secure the individual’s green card. The client was not informed of the potential conflict of interest at the outset of his legal representation, nor was he informed of his right to seek outside counsel. (Case No. SC24-1739)
